Lean Cuisine goes Gluten-Free

When we talk about the normalization of gluten-free food it must include convenience and not just some bad bread tucked away on a random shelf near the Health Food section in the grocery store. GF readers often talk to me about their frustration with not being able to make a meal in minutes for lunch or dinner.

Lean Cuisine, the frozen food mega company, recently launched a line of GF frozen meals that won’t break your caloric bank while keeping you safe in the stomach. From what I could summise there are at least thirteen choices from Cheddar Bacon Chicken, Sweet & Spicy Korean Style Beef to Chile Lime Chicken. The Ranchero Braised Beef sit atop a bed of chipotle mashed sweet potatoes and I say “YUM” to that.

Lean Cuisine is changing with the times and states that, “Culinary culture has become richer and more diverse than ever, and our understanding of health and wellness has grown immensely.” This is also a great way to get a acquainted with portion control since they all seem to be around 250 calories. It can be daunting to eat gluten-free when there’s so much extra added fat and sugar and a minuscule amount of fiber.
